Yes, under specific conditions (see below): this is not Emacs specific
but is common to all free software.

In general, you are free to use the software for any purpose.

If you modify Emacs (or any Emacs package) you must comply to the terms
of the licence.

See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License#Use_of_licensed_software
for general information about freedom of use of GNU GPL licnsed free software

Happy hacking! Gio'
